Goddess of Life opened her mouth, her gentle, water-like emerald eyes appearing somewhat dazed at this moment; she seemed unable to accept this fact for a time.
She and God of Destruction had exhausted all their Origin Divine Power, sacrificing themselves to exchange for the power of Creation to protect the Divine Realm.
She had originally thought that with Tang San presiding and the gods working together, the catastrophe of the Divine Realm could ultimately be safely weathered.
But now it seemed, it was not as she had imagined.
A moment later, a trace of confusion appeared on Goddess of Life's beautiful and gentle face.
She sighed softly, her voice carrying a hint of helplessness: "In the end, did we still fail? We gave our all, yet in the end, did we still not change the outcome?"
Then she raised her head and looked at Huo Yuhao again: "I do not know the fate of this Divine Realm, but Ten Thousand Years ago, everything had yet to happen. I hope that in that place, the future can be changed."
"Little Yuhao, our hopes, or rather the hopes of the Divine Realm, are all entrusted to you."
After Goddess of Life finished speaking, the entire void space suddenly shook violently.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously steadied himself, then saw the figures of God of Destruction and Goddess of Life suddenly become much more illusory after this tremor.
Their outlines were blurring bit by bit, like two canvases soaked in water, the ink slowly spreading and dissipating.
God of Destruction looked down at his gradually transparent hands, a flash of urgency in his scarlet eyes beneath the cloak.
He knew there was not much time left for him, so he suddenly raised his head and shouted at Huo Yuhao: "We are about to dissipate! Kid, remember to be careful of Tang San!"
"Especially in the World Ten Thousand Years ago, you have not yet become a god, and he is too powerful for you."
"He controls the God Realm Central Hub; as long as he is willing, he can completely use the power of the God Realm Central Hub to perform a divine descent and project his will onto the Douluo Continent."
As soon as God of Destruction's words fell, the shaking of the entire space suddenly intensified to the extreme.
Huo Yuhao only felt the ground beneath his feet suddenly swaying violently like a deck in a raging sea; he wanted to speak in response, but found that his voice could not be transmitted at all in this collapsing space.
Under his gaze, the figures of God of Destruction and Goddess of Life became increasingly faint and blurred, changing from two clearly outlined human shapes into two hazy light shadows, one purple-black and one emerald-green.
Subsequently, these two light shadows were also devoured by the omnipresent void, dissipating without a trace.
Finally, Huo Yuhao only felt a sudden blur before his eyes; after a brief moment of dizziness, the scene before him had changed again.
Before him was a massive purple-black crystal, its surface flowing with dim and deep purple light patterns.
Huo Yuhao's right hand was resting on the crystal, the touch from his palm warm and smooth, exactly the same as when he had placed his palm on it earlier.
Clearly, he had already left that strange void space just now.
Recalling that conversation with God of Destruction and Goddess of Life just now, it felt like a dream. However, when Huo Yuhao sank his consciousness into his Spiritual Sea, he discovered that in his already very lively Spiritual Sea, there were two more heavyweight 'visitors' at this moment.
At the highest point of the Spiritual Sea, that scepter of destruction, which looked like solidified purple-black lightning, was quietly floating there, the pale purple orb at its top emitting a power of Destruction that made the Soul tremble.
Huo Yuhao had no doubt that if this energy were to lose control and erupt, it would be enough to destroy his Spiritual Sea in an instant.
And directly above this scepter of destruction, a lustrous seed about the size of an infant's fist was floating in mid-air.
The seed was translucent emerald-green, its surface flowing with a soft and holy luster, and every rotation would sprinkle starlike emerald-green light rain.
The life force it emitted was so rich it was nearly materialized, even many times more majestic than the ocean of life formed by life gold below the Spiritual Sea.
It was this incredibly tyrannical life energy that, like an indestructible Seal, firmly restricted the spread of the destructive power within the scepter of destruction.
Huo Yuhao raised his head, gazing at the scepter emitting endless destructive aura and the seed flowing with majestic vitality, and he was certain in his heart that everything he had just experienced was by no means a hallucination.
The Spirit Souls in the Spiritual Sea had also gathered around at this moment; they all felt how vast and terrifying the power contained in these two things was.
That was an existence belonging to another level, completely exceeding the limits of their cognition.
Electrolux's figure also appeared, and when his gaze fell on the scepter of destruction, a hint of hard-to-conceal surprise flashed in those eyes as deep as an abyss, and he blurted out: "Divine Artifact?!"
Clearly, with Electrolux's experience and vision as a semi-god, he saw the true grade of this scepter at a single glance.
Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at his teacher beside him and asked: "Teacher, do you know what happened just now?"
Electrolux frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and slowly shook his head.His aged voice carried a rare confusion and solemnity: "In my perception, it seemed that nothing happened just now."
"This Divine Artifact appeared in your Spiritual Sea out of thin air, without warning, without cause, but intuition tells me the facts are by no means so simple."
"Something must have happened just now, but I could not even capture a trace of the entire process."
Hearing his teacher say this, Huo Yuhao had his own judgment in his heart.
He sighed inwardly, as expected of a God King who once stood at the very top of the Divine Realm; even if only a wisp of a remnant Soul about to dissipate remained, he still possessed such unimaginable abilities.
Electrolux had been a semi-god level Necromancy Holy Law God in his previous life, but before God of Destruction, he did not even have the slightest room to resist, and his perception had been completely blocked from beginning to end.
Huo Yuhao did not hide anything from Electrolux and briefly and concisely recounted everything that had happened in that void space just now.
From the sudden appearance of God of Destruction and Goddess of Life, to the gift of the scepter of destruction and the seed of life, to the warning about being careful of Tang San left by the two God King remnant Souls before they dissipated, he recounted it all.
Even with Electrolux's experience, after hearing Huo Yuhao's narration, an expression of hard-to-conceal surprise could not help but appear on his face.
He was silent for a long time, as if digesting this information.
Only after a while did he slowly speak: "Although you did not obtain a complete Legacy of a God Position, this Divine Artifact is still a top-tier Opportunity."
Speaking of this, a kind and warm smile appeared on Electrolux's usually stern face: "And as those two God Kings said, you still have a chance Ten Thousand Years ago."
"If you can establish contact with them before your Ascension to the Divine Realm, using the two great Divine Powers of Destruction and life that exist within you as proof, obtaining the favor of the God Kings or even directly inheriting a God King position is by no means a pipe dream."
Huo Yuhao listened quietly, his heart rippling because of his teacher's words, yet he did not become carried away.
He was still just a Mortal Spirit Master who had not yet become a god, and he still had a very, very long way to go before reaching that level.
However, even so, his heart was still filled with anticipation.
Not a delusion, but a down-to-earth anticipation ignited by a more ambitious goal.
He slowly withdrew his consciousness from his Spiritual Sea and opened his eyes again.
The first thing he saw was Gu Yue and Na'er standing side by side in front of him; he did not know how long they had been guarding there.
A trace of hard-to-conceal concern flickered in Gu Yue's clear silver eyes; seeing Huo Yuhao open his eyes, she asked softly: "How is it?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the lingering tension in her eyes, and a warmth surged in his heart.
He smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "It's fine, this fragment of Destruction is indeed related to the Divine Realm, and I have obtained a significant Opportunity."
Gu Yue did not ask any more questions, only nodding slightly.
Huo Yuhao cast his gaze into the distance; the emerald-green pillar of life that had soared into the sky in the distance now had a noticeably weaker light.
However, his Spirit Eyes clearly captured that below that pillar of life, apart from the two old Devil Heads, Destruction and Nightmare, there were actually a few more unfamiliar figures.
